I don’t know why, but I feel quite quite relaxed now. The truth is, I’m only halfway through my exams. But so far, the papers have been ok, in that I haven’t been slaughtered too badly. Today’s math paper was also especially fulfilling. No, I didn’t know how to do every single question, but I managed to work through most of them. This is in direct contrast to my first class test (where I nearly failed) and common test when I felt a tremendous sense of guilt after the paper and only managed 6 points (equivalent to an A2).

Oh and all the talk about my principal has been quite interesting but shocking as well. I was very surprised when I received an sms from my uncle asking to confirm if my principal really resigned. My first reaction – disbelief. And then, when it slowly sank in, I wondered if the school would survive. There’s just this sense of uncertainty till now, like riding a bike with your eyes closed. I’ve yet to see what will happen from now on. It was almost 10pm when the news was broadcasted. But the whole school knew about it even before the Board could give an official announcement the next morning. News like this sure spreads round the school community really fast. I saw some reporters standing around in school, probably trying to get some students to be interviewed. Of course, we were told not to entertain them. But somehow, I think the media is a more reliable source of information. It seems like the school is trying to keep something away from us. Like while announcing, they didn’t explicitly say there was a complaint lodged. They kept emphasizing on health issues, retirement, enjoying life etc. But in their press statement, they admitted that there was a complaint lodged. Stuff like that are what make me think the school is trying to withhold information or hide something from the rest of the population.
